Decennial Committee on Local Government Efficiency

In June of 2022, Governor Pritzker signed the Decennial Committee on Local Government Efficiency Act (50 ILCS 70/1-99) into law. This act mandates that local governmental agencies (or most entities that levy taxes) convene a committee to study local efficiencies and help create a report for the County with any potential recommendations for improving your local government’s efficiency. So, West Chicago Public Library District needs your help. We are looking for at least two volunteers from the library district to join this committee and work with the board to evaluate and potentially improve WCPLD’s efficiency.

Potential members will need to:

• Complete the application to join the committee
• Be selected and duly appointed to the committee by the Board of Trustees
• Attend at least three meetings in the next 18 months
• Help WCPLD staff and the board create a report of the findings

Applications to join the committee will be assessed and Committee appointments will be determined by the Board of Library Trustees at their next scheduled meeting on April 24th at 7:00 pm. That meeting will be open to the public. The report that will be created through this committee will be filed with the DuPage County Board and published on the library’s website under Library Board of Trustees, Decennial Committee on Government Efficiency for the public to review.

Applicants must be West Chicago Public Library District residents, but you do not need to have a library card or be a regular patron to join this committee. Residents of any age may apply to join the committee and work with the Board of Trustees to make the library a better place for all West Chicagoans. We look forward to working together, thank you for your interest!
